Unwind + Grind: The Official Divine Booty Shaking Experience
U+ G is a high energy dance class, moving meditation, and embodied release set to get in your bones dance music, mixed with world flavors in rhythms, booty bass bumpin' beats and some mellow downtempo to reconnect you to your highest self, inner divine femininity and the activation of your truest life dreams.
U + G is a soulful and inclusive experience for people who identify as women to release the mind, have fun and get free in the body. An intimate evening to feel like you're going out and doing something special all while wearing whatever you want to that makes you feel good moving in YOUR body with bare feet! We embrace your expression and body positivity.
U+ G is not your typical dance class--in this experience we will set intention, learn new SOL VIDA(TM) moves, and get permission to move in the way that feels good to you. It's not about what it looks like, it's what it feels like. Okurrrrrr

Here's what people are saying about the power of Unwind + Grind and SOL VIDA(TM):
?"Her (Axé) ability to guide a group of women to get into their bodies and out of their heads is brilliant. She connects with such love and authenticity, and she creates a space where is it not only safe to explore movement, but it is natural and primal--she is able to somehow grasp the deep chords of femininity and sensuality and strike them beautifully, waking up something that has for so long, been lost in modern women." - Heidi Whitehead , Hustle + Flow Women's Retreat
?"Sol Vida classes are vibrant, fun, and tap into ancient archetypal movements that leave you feeling connected to higher realms." - Omar Aena, Dance Lab /Ecstatic Dance NYC
?"Unwind + Grind has always been a space where we can come as we are and let go of anything that doesn't serve us. Once again U&G has brought me back to life! I am so thankful to be inspired by the light of April Axé Charmaine." - Lea Bett, The Life Work Lab
Join us for the first official landing of Unwind + Grind in The Bay Area! U+ G is a movement that was born in Denver, Colorado and has evolved into a movement empowering women in dance, breath and connection for over a decade.
